The presented findings indicate that the determination in the blood or saliva of antipyrine concentration kinetics as well as the profile and the ratio of the products of its hydroxylation in the urine makes it possible to evaluate under clinical conditions the activity of the hydroxylating (monooxygenase) system of the human liver and, consequently, the state of its main therapeutic-metabolizing function that is undoubtedly important for the optimization of pharmacotherapy.

Background: Viral hepatitis is the major contributor to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Studies indicated that the co-infection of hepatitis C and hepatitis B virus also prompts liver damage progression. Therefore, in the present study, the prevalence of HCV-HBV co-infection and the impact of HCV-HBV co-infection on the progression of liver damage was evaluated amongst the HCV-infected patients in Pakistan.

Silibinin (Sil) is a major bioactive component of silymarin, extracted from the fruit and seeds of Silybum marianum. Silibinin meglumine (SM) is a water-soluble derivative of silibinin that has shown significant potential in liver fibrosis. However, the potential effects and underlying mechanisms of SM on acute liver failure (ALF) are still not fully understood.
